These shots are from the scenic community of Glovers Harbour on the northeast coast where they were celebrating the annual Squid Festival and the unveiling of a new Canada Post stamp commemorating the community's giant squid statue.

The road through Glover's Harbour turns into a parking lot as the time for the stamp launch nears.
